PURPOSE OF THE UNIT STANDARD |
Performing routine first line maintenance on production machinery and equipment. |
LEARNING ASSUMED TO BE IN PLACE AND RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING |
This unit standard has been designed as part of a progression. It is one of a series of unit standards for activities below, at and above this level. The credits assigned to it are based on the assumption that I am learning what is needed for this unit standard as part of my learning for a range of related unit standards at this level or below it.
If I have experience in these related activities but do not have credits for them, I can obtain credits by being assessed through a process that recognises prior learning. If I do not have such experience of related activities, then my learning time will be increased. I can choose to be assessed and obtain credits against those other unit standards as I make progress towards the outcomes of this unit standard. |
UNIT STANDARD RANGE |
This unit standard deals with my ability to perform aspects of routine maintenance during the normal production run. I do not have to be a maintenance specialist to be competent in this unit standard but I need to be sufficiently familiar with the machinery I am operating to apply process agents and replace worn parts where specified. I am also able to assist maintenance specialists with their work during shutdowns.
The context conditions under which the learner is expected to perform as are follows: |
Specific Outcomes and Assessment Criteria: |
